In a freak accident, an Air India ground staffer was sucked in by an aircraft engine at the Mumbai airport on Wednesday evening, official sources said.
The incident took place at bay No. 28 around 8.40 p.m. when a flight was being readied for departure.
The victim was sucked in by the running engine of the aircraft which was scheduled to depart at 8.44 p.m. as Mumbai-Hyderabad flight AI 619. It was delayed by an hour due to the incident.
The staffer’s identify was yet to be ascertained as the body has been virtually reduced to shreds.
